I’ve started a new adventure the past couple of months. I’ve always been a fan of Salt Lake Magazine. They do a beautiful spread and great online content about my hometown.
I’ve started writing for their online ‘Farm to Table’ blog about local food, farmers, sips and the other exciting things going on in the foodist world here in the Salty City…
I wanted to share a couple of my articles here – because I am meeting some amazing people and also excited about some of my upcoming articles. I hope you’ll check them out!
Slow Food Utah’s Fest of the Five Senses
One of the best dinners of the entire year, put on by one of my favorite non-profits Slow Food Utah. From lovely appetizers to a decadent meal presented by top Utah local chefs, this was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. If you want to know more about that decadent dessert above from the lovely Amber from 3 Cups, you’ll just have to check out the article HERE.

Utah Giant Pumpkin Growers Association
“What do you do with a giant pumpkin once you have it? Smash it of course.” Or paddle it across a lake. I actually did this once and got SOAKED. It is much harder than it looks…
I spent a day with my friend Elif who makes ‘Punked Out’ Baklava. This is seriously delicious stuff were talking about here. The day we met, I had pumpkin cheesecake baklava and bacon bourbon caramel baklava. Read on HERE.

Craft Bitters made in the heart of Salt Lake City. Bitters Lab is preaching that bitters aren’t just for cocktails anymore (although the owners Jesse & Andrea make a mean whisky sour). Find out what goes into their craft bitters HERE. Oh, and by the way …. The cover photo for this post is of Jesse & Andrea. Jesse’s day job is as a professional photographer and he provided me with their photo.

Our friends Tiffany and Ryan are the owners of Lick’d – hands down the BEST popsicles I’ve ever had. Ever. Check out the story of how they got started HERE.
Hope you enjoyed checking these out and learning about some of the cool things we have going on in our burgeoning food city. Stay tuned for more foodist articles.
You can find all my articles for Salt Lake Magazine HERE – including any I have written more recently!
